You ate a big bowl of cereal today BillyG, and are working extra hard. Thanks for your work, as so many benefit. I really liked this piece on TSMC making sure that it will have the tools to do what CUBE needs to add value to its products. One Q though. The following paragraph got my attention; About Inventra The Inventra division of Mentor Graphics is the world's leading independent provider of reusable intellectual property for the system-on-chip industry. The extensive Inventra product line provides EDA tool-independent physical libraries (memories, standard cell and datapaths) and CoreAlliance products, including ATM, 10/100Mb/1Gb Ethernet, R3000, MPEG-2 and Analog Devices ADSP21xx cores. Inventra's IP products lower the cost of implementing design reuse, allowing designers more time to focus on unique, value-added circuitry. They are also selling enabling technology to those who would like to take CUBE's place? Jean Paul, not long ago you said, "also, i am starting to think it might be a good idea for CUBE to go into the business of making their own DVD players... any thoughts? does anyone know if CUBE is planning this?" This new division suggests they are going to persue getting their technology transformed into useful consumer products ASAP. David's vision is a little closer today. Rather than DVD players I think they will go for convergence. DVD plus other things.
